I tried to get a group read of GR going a few years back, and the results could not have been worse unless, I dunno, an actual fatality had occurred. I hosted a segment of the ATDTDA (aka 'Touching the Dog's Arse'), and was lucky enough to get one of the best and most obviously significant passages of teh book to annotate, and I put quite a lot of work into my posts, and it triggered virtually no discussion at all, and I ended up feeling it had been a total waste of time. Which it had.

I've cribbed from your ideas more than once, knowingly, and probably more
than that without realizing it.  (One in particular about the 1st page
of Vineland
I keep meaning to look up and reread...)  Isn't that some kind of validation?

You hosted a section of ATDTDA?  I don't remember that...
(sorry, couldn't help myself)

I always try to say something in response to a host, will have to
reread your section soon and make sure I did.
